High-power burnersThe number of surface cooking burners rated at over 11,000 Btu/hr., maximum. High-power burners are good for quickly heating large quantities, searing, and other high-temperature cooking. Some also perform well on low-heat tasks (when turned to their low setting).

Medium-power burnersThe number of surface cooking burners with maximum output ratings over 6,500 Btu/hr but not more than 11,000 Btu/hr. Though they don't offer top speed and power, medium-power burners can generally handle all cooking tasks.

Continuous gratesGrates abut one another, making it easier to slide pots around or to support large pans over two burners.

I noticed immediately that the grates weren't level, since the oil in the pans on the front burners was flowing towards the front of the pans. I complained to our builder and, using a level, we could see that the cook top itself was installed levelly, but both left and right grates were bent in between front and back burners, rising slightly in the middle, causing the pans to sit unevenly on front and back burners. I am taking the grates back to the dealer to see about replacements.

Comment:

I cook every day. This cook top cannot do low simmering. All 5 burners work from med-hi to hi, no low temps. The numbers are painted on the stainless surface and have wore down way too quickly for such an expensive appliance. The design makes it a little difficult to clean. Never again would I buy an LG appliance.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:

Everyone in our family enjoys cooking on this cooktop. It heats up fast, the controls are accurate. I like the style and the placement of the control knobs,leaves more space for the 5 burner configuration. <br /><br />All my other appliances are GE Profile, this looked far more professional than the GE.
